I am from a time when guys didnt need to type. I was always involved in old cars,HOT RODS,since 1951(age 11) when my older sisters boyfriends and their buddies would come to our house to work on their cars. I got my first ride in a really fast carat abbout 13.It was a 46 ford conv.,black,continental kit,loud pipes,top down. The engine was a 331 hemi with a graham supercharger. It was the first car i ever saw with seat belts. My ride was long ,fast,loud.windy ,scary,thrilling,better than *** feeling Ive looked for ever since. I dont think I will ever lose my enthusiasm. This hobby has taken me many places andmet lots of great people over the years,but this is a new part of my adventure. Also,I dont know how to start a new paragraph.
I can't type either & I love hemis so I just gotta say welcome from Australia! Dont suppose you have a photo of that hemi convertable? sure sounds neat.....Craig
Sorry,no photo of that car,but the vision is still in my head. There is some early hemi stuff going on here. One pal has twne is a 39 ford deluxe coupe with a 392,671 blower and all, under the stock hood.,He also has a 32 5 window hiboy with a 392 ,2 4s all under hood with side blisters. Another friend has a 34 roadster hi boy,took out a crisp 400 chev and put in an early hemi(not sure what size)but gets much better gas milage and lots of interest. You got a dragster or what?
No Dragster here but I do have a few NICE hemis that I have kept. I am fixing to use a blown 354 in my 35 pickup with a manual trans, just struggling to find the time at the moment....The photo in my avtar was taken at Bakersfield hotrod reunion this year, that place is hemi heaven!
Shoot! I'm a journalist and I can't type. I can't spell either. I type with two fingers and let the computer fix all the words. Welcome to HAMB!
